Police: Man robbed while using Palm Springs gas station bathroom

Three people are facing charges after a man was robbed while using a Palm Springs gas station bathroom Tuesday afternoon, village police said.

Police say Cynthia K. Minor, 42, and Debra Ann Dattilo, 30, both of suburban Lake Worth, entered the men’s bathroom at the Sunoco gas station near Lake Worth and Kirk roads and robbed a 32-year-old man.

Ian McGee, 33, of Wellington, is accused of being their accomplice, police said.

Minor was being held at the Palm Beach County Jail on Wednesday night in lieu of $11,000 bail. Dattilo was being held in lieu of $9,000 bail, and McGee was being held in lieu of $16,000 bail.

According to police, the alleged victim told officers he was using the facilities when Minor came into the bathroom and hit him. Dattilo came in moments later and threatened him with a knife, police said.

The pair allegedly took $60 in cash, along with the man’s cellphone and wallet. They also took $8.10 in change from his car, police said. Minor and Dattilo allegedly left in a truck driven by McGee and the accuser followed them to the Wal-Mart Super Center in Palm Springs.

Police found both women and both reportedly agreed to answer questions. Minor allegedly told officers the man came to her home and solicited her for “role play.” She said she told the man to meet her at the nearby gas station, according to a police report made public Wednesday.

Dattilo, who lives with Minor, allegedly told officers she followed Minor and the man into the bathroom and found them fighting. Dattilo told officers she refused Minor’s request to go through the man’s pockets. However, she later helped Minor try to use the man’s stolen credit cards at Wal-Mart, police said.

McGee reportedly waited in the truck while Minor and Dattilo were inside the store. The three were arrested on various charges, including robbery, burglary and fraudulent use of credit cards.
